[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#922379: libgphoto2: shuts down Sony cameras upon initialization

[Ferenc Wágner]

Source: libgphoto2
Version: 2.5.22-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

I successfully used gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor to download photos from
my Sony Alpha 5000 under jessie, but libgphoto2 broke for that camera in
stretch (I don't know the exact version).  This regression has just been
fixed upstream in commit f1e3b5ae8f9d8258db9a19861749b2bb6ad57b1e.  The
patch applies cleanly to 2.5.22 and fixes the issue for me; judging by
the issues referenced in the commit other users are affected as well.
Please include this fix in buster if at all possible!  Having a 2.5.23
would be best of course, but I've got no idea when that will happen.
A quilt patch would still have a chance to reach buster, though.
